This is a reply to a really old message but I wanted to point out that it
has been solved.  It turns out the AML expects to be able to call the EC
early on but we weren't detecting the EC until the namespace was
available.  The EC rewrite I did now probes the ECDT and attaches to the
EC early on, fixing these errors.
